AI-powered construction platform automating quote generation, project tracking, and asset monitoring with predictive analytics.
BuildVision is a sophisticated AI-powered construction estimation and takeoff application that revolutionizes construction project estimation by combining multi-provider AI integration, real-time collaboration features, multi-tenant SaaS architecture, and advanced canvas-based drawing tools for construction plan analysis.
Built a sophisticated multi-provider AI architecture with intelligent routing based on task complexity, cost optimization, and real-time availability monitoring.
